Ernst Molden live in Salzburg

Experience Ernst Molden live on November 20th

Ernst Molden will perform at ARGEkultur Salzburg on November 20, 2026. Molden is an Austrian musician known for his unique blend of folk music – particularly Styrian *Volksmusik* – with elements of jazz, rock, and experimental music. His style often incorporates the *hackbrett* (hammered dulcimer) as a central instrument, alongside accordion, guitar and bass, creating a sound that is both deeply rooted in tradition and strikingly contemporary. He frequently explores themes relating to rural life and Austrian identity within his compositions.

ARGEkultur Salzburg is a cultural center situated in the Nonntal district of Salzburg. Established in 1982, it functions as an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and showcasing diverse artistic disciplines. Originally conceived as a platform for alternative and experimental theatre, ARGEkultur has broadened its scope to include music, performance art, visual arts and literature. The venue itself comprises several spaces including a main hall accommodating approximately 150 people, a smaller studio space and an outdoor area utilized for events during warmer months. It maintains a focus on regional artists while also presenting international productions and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations.
